Nationals 10, Cubs 4: That’s not the way I’ve always heard it should be
They might as well have stayed in Arizona. The Cubs got blasted 10-4 by the Nationals on Opening Day, and the weather, well, it was what you would expect for late March — 49 degrees, very windy, annoying light rain showers off and on. Matthew Boyd, who was so good at Wrigley Field all of […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Nationals series preview
Well, here we are at the earliest-ever home opener for the Cubs. You already know how I feel about March baseball in Chicago (they generally shouldn’t, ever). And the forecast for the opener Thursday has temps falling from an early high of near 60 into the 40s. There’s a chance of rain that hopefully will […]

Good morning. Unless you’re manager Tony Vitello or on the Giants, in which case I just say I hope tomorrow is a better morning for you. Because the Yankees’ spanked the Giants 7-0 in the first game of the year.

Reflections on the cusp of the Cubs’ 2026 season
A year ago, many were skeptical that the Chicago Cubs could be a postseason contender, even after the acquisition of Kyle Tucker, a genuine star. A year later, the Cubs did make the postseason and extended the Brewers to five games in a tightly-fought division series. The 92-win season was absolutely a good one, with […]
Cubs announce 26-man Opening Day roster
Here are the 26 men who will line up on the third-base line at Wrigley Field Thursday afternoon before the Cubs’ season opener against the Nationals. Most of these were well-known before; a few were added over the last couple of days. All groups are listed in alphabetical order, except for the starting pitchers, who […]

Josh, Sara, Thomas, Duane and I had a lively online conversation Tuesday afternoon. The online chat has been lightly edited for clarity. Ashley was unable to join us for […]

If you have been here at BCB for the last 20 years or so, you’ll find this prediction format familiar — and yes, you’ll find most of this introductory text familiar […]

Cubs news: Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong agree to 6-year, $115 million extension
Tonight, ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news that Cubs fans have been waiting for. We have no details as of yet on the length of the deal or how much money Pete Crow-Armstrong will get. Bob Nightengale reports that it will be more than $100 million, which is a safe report, honestly. Most observers have […]
Yankees 8, Cubs 3: And now, on to the regular season
The Cubs’ final spring training game was a clunker, an 8-3 loss to the Yankees at Sloan Park. So this is going to be a very short game recap, as the team’s focus turns to the 2026 season opener Thursday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs scored both of their runs on solo homers. Alex Bregman […]
